A New Parsifal
Just in time for a broadcast on Wagner’s bicentennial on 22 May 2013, Clasart Classic presents the new production of Parsifal from the Metropolitan Opera. In this production of Wagner’s final mas-terpiece Jonas Kaufmann, one of the most renowned Wagner te-nors of our time, stars in the title role of the innocent who finds wisdom. He is surrounded by no one less than Katarina Dalayman, René Pape, Peter Mattei and Ev-geny Nikitin. Daniele Gatti con-ducts. The premiere of this new production by the Canadian François Girard was unanimously hailed by the press. The New York Times praised the “postapocalyp-tic setting“ and the singers as “the best Parsifal cast available today”.

Gottfried Helnwein & The Drea-ming Child provides an insight into the work of the titular Austri-an photo-realist painter, who turns 65 in October 2013. In summer the Albertina in Vienna will stage his hitherto largest retrospective in the German-speaking area.
When the Israeli Opera decided to produce a new operatic version of Hanoch Levin’s play The Drea-ming Child, Helnwein was the ob-vious choice to design it. Both, Helnwein and Levin, are concer-ned with the theme of childhood innocence betrayed.
Directed and produced by Lisa Kirk Colburn; distributed worldwi-de for TV by EuroArts (excl. USA). The film will also be released on DVD/Blu-ray on the EuroArts label (excl. USA).

Harstad (Norway) To Be-come First Ever Safe Mu-sic Haven
The Norwegian Musicians’ Union (MFO) presents the SafeMUSE project and the first ever Safe Mu-sic HavenOn 12 February 2013, the city of Harstad (Norway), signed the first agreement with SafeMUSE, pro-claiming itself the first ever Safe Music Haven.
Freemuse – the World Forum on Music and Censorship – is cur-rently identifying eligible persecu-ted artists for the first residence period.“A milestone in our work for free-dom of artistic expression and human rights” said Renée Ras-mussen, President of the Norwe-gian Musicians’ Union.Too many musicians around the world are persecuted just for being musicians. The Freemuse Annual Statistics documented more than 100 violations in 2011: harass-ments, threats, stopped concerts, arrests, torture and murders.Since the 1990s, the International Cities of Refuge Network (ICORN) for persecuted writers has expan-ded worldwide, with 40 member cities. In 2011, MFO in cooperati-on with Freemuse, the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Uni-ons (LO) and Nordic professional music organizations took the first steps towards the creation of a safe music havens scheme, aiming to protect freedom of artistic ex-pression and democracy as well as to support persecuted musicians worldwide.The city of Harstad commits to host guest musicians for a 2-year period. In co-operation with the Troms County Council, it will facili-tate the securing of adequate working conditions for the artists concerned. It will provide an envi-ronment where music creation and performance is free and safe, in line with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.The SafeMUSE project is suppor-ted by FIM.
